Day 3 and 4

The feathers continue...

So far we have one frame set up and our deadline to finish all the pieces is next Wednesday. I decided to come in early to help them set up the next frame so that more of us could get working on them.


When setting up a frame you have to pin both ends of the fabric to wooden poles, using a lot of pins. then each person takes a strip of vilene to roll the fabric in on its self, staying protected by the vilene. This rolling process need to be done equally and you need to ensure that the fabric isn't getting crumpled or caught as its being rolled. 

Once this is done you then slide wood to connect the two wooden poles and stretch, using a metal rod to keep it all in place. Then strips of fabric are used to wrap around the wood again stretching the fabric you are working on, keeping it all taught.
